Stating that it is the policy of the United States to oppose the sale, shipment, 

performance of maintenance, refurbishment, modification, repair, and 

upgrade of any military equipment from or by the Russian Federation 

to or for the Syrian Arab Republic. 

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 

JULY 25, 2012 

Mr. HATCH (for himself and Mr. CORNYN) submitted the following concurrent 

resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations 

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 

Stating that it is the policy of the United States to oppose 

the sale, shipment, performance of maintenance, refurbishment, modification, repair, and upgrade of any military equipment from or by the Russian Federation to 

or for the Syrian Arab Republic. 

Whereas the General Director of Rosoboronexport, the largest 

Russian arms exporter, recently announced that his company was transferring anti-aircraft and anti-ship missile 

systems to Syria; 

Whereas the Government of the Russian Federation has announced the deployment of 11 warships, including amphibious ships designed to carry naval infantry, to the 

eastern Mediterranean, and it is expected that some of 

those ships will dock at the Syrian port of Tartus;

Whereas Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently stated, 

‘‘What can every nation and group represented here do? 

. . . I ask you to reach out to Russia and China, and 

to not only urge but demand that they get off the sidelines and begin to support the legitimate aspirations of 

the Syrian people.’’; 

Whereas Secretary of State Clinton further stated on July 

17, 2012, ‘‘[O]ur commitment is to try to get Russia to 

cooperate. So we want the rest of the world to put pressure on Russia . . . as long as he [Bashar al-Assad] has 

Russia uncertain about whether or not to side against 

him in any more dramatic way that it already has, he 

[Assad] feels like he can keep going.’’; 

Whereas the Government of the Russian Federation recently 

refurbished at least three Syrian Mi–25 helicopters; and 

Whereas the Government of the Russian Federation has 

taken a tentative positive step of expounding a new policy 

that it will not enter into new arms agreements with the 

Government of the Syrian Arab Republic: Now, therefore, 

be it 

1 Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 

2 concurring), That it is the policy of the United States—

#### James Clark, Respondent, v Harold Sherwood, Appellant.

—Order unanimously modified, on the law, and, as modified, affirmed, without costs, in accordance with the following memorandum: We find sufficient support in this record to partially grant defendant’s motion to vacate the default judgment awarding plaintiff treble damages under RPAPL 861 (2). In our view, defendant has demonstrated that his default was legally "excusable” and that he has a meritorious defense to the award of treble damages *(see, Fidelity & Deposit Co. v Andersen & Co.,*60 NY2d 693, 695; *Klenk v Kent,*103 AD2d 1002, *appeal dismissed*63 NY2d 953; *Leone v Johnson,*99 AD2d 567, 568; *County Asphalt v North Rockland Underground Corp.,*96 AD2d 570; Siegel, NY Prac § 108, at 135). When served with the summons and complaint, defendant, a Pennsylvania resident, consulted his local attorney. The Pennsylvania attorney sought and obtained an extension of time to respond to the complaint. A letter was then forwarded by this lawyer to plaintiff’s attorney, with a copy to defendant, advising that it would be necessary for defendant to retain New York counsel to defend the actions herein. The letter went on to state "[although, we have not yet obtained New York counsel I have advised Mr. Sherwood to make efforts in that regard during my [vacation] however, immediately upon my return, if he has not been successful, definitive action will be taken and your office so advised.” It is apparent that defendant’s Pennsylvania attorney failed to take any further action as advised. Thus, there is presented a valid excuse why defendant might justifiably have believed his interests were being protected when in fact, they were not. The court is not *974precluded from exercising its discretion in the interest of justice to excuse delay or default resulting from law office failure (CPLR 2005), if application is made within one year (CPLR 5015 [a]).

Each of these related actions sought to recover treble damages for defendant’s wrongful cutting and removal of timber from property owned by plaintiffs. Treble damages will not be awarded "[w]here the verdict, report, or decision finds affirmatively that the injury for which the action was brought, was casual and involuntary, or that the defendant, when he committed the injury, had probable cause to believe that the land was his own” (RPAPL 861 [2] [a]). In support of his motion to vacate, defendant submitted several affidavits showing that when he purchased the parcel of timber, the seller showed him the boundary lines and that if any timbering was done outside those lines "it was done casual and involuntary and with probable cause to believe that the premises were owned by [the seller]”. Should defendant successfully establish this defense at trial, he would not be liable for treble damages. However, in our view, defendant has not established a meritorious defense to plaintiff’s claim for actual damages and, therefore, defendant remains liable for actual damages. (Appeal from order of Supreme Court, Steuben County, Siracuse, J.—vacate default judgment.) Present—Dillon, P. J., Callahan, Doerr, Boomer and Pine, JJ.
